I have no slotting in my X member, its stock unmodified.

so either I need a mount that puts the trannymount a few mm backwords, or slot it.

so yes, I guess I need the v8 mount as you call it

Ok. PM sent, Rob

xschop,

You were working on the early 2-piece mounts. Still have some.

I purchased an 86' (01-20-86) 944 turbo 5-spd with the cross member. The 84' doesn't have the removeable transmission cross member and now find myself without mounts.

Do I need to first find a pair of the transmission side mount plates for the early style 2-piece, and then the rubber mounts if there are no other options?

The car had an auto that is being swapped out and still have those but unless I was not seeing correctly the metal side plate didn't match anywhere I thought it would bolt to.

Any thoughts

xschop Tue May 03, 2011 7:06 am

I have 2 sets left of the EARLY 2-piece. I have only seen the drawings of the automatic side plates, but thought they could be modded to fit. I know that the Early MANUAL side plates will fit the late boxes and one of the holes is missing from the ddriver's side IIRC, but can be drilled easily.

Man i wish i would have gotten this instead of the lindsey ultra mount i would of helped you and saved money as well.

xschop Tue May 03, 2011 8:38 pm

The Lindsey mount has rubber bushings. Rolling Eyes

kelleysj Wed May 11, 2011 5:55 pm

I know thats why your mount is a better product! Shocked

chadfjones Sat May 14, 2011 5:13 pm

xschop,

Still have a set of your trans mounts for an early 944?

If so I'll take them!

xschop Sat May 14, 2011 8:41 pm

Yes, I have a couple sets left. I'll send PM.

Can't PM a newbie I guess....

If in U.S. Paypal $206 ($216 Canada) to:

I have only 1 regular LATE mount left with all hardware/bushings until I can make some more, which won't be for another 3-4 weeks. I will ship it for $188 anywhere in the U.S.-48...Just PM

Max Energy Sat Sep 17, 2011 12:17 am

Rob,
Do you have any of the late 944 trans mounts available?
This is not being used on a V8 car, this is a 2.7 dedicated track car.
Max

xschop Sat Sep 17, 2011 8:04 am

Hey Max, I am finishing a few Regular/Late mounts on the CNC and can ship one Mon or Tues, depending on the place where I get the hardware and shoulder bolts.... And I will let it go for the same $188 shipped to the US-48

I'll have 2 more left if anyone else is interested. Just Paypal $188 to...... [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Max Energy Sat Sep 17, 2011 9:43 pm

Rob,

Hey Rob, did you tell me that this limit transmission travel?

xschop Mon Sep 26, 2011 1:48 pm

Yes, there is less than 1/16" side-to-side trans movement when locked down and still isolates vibes/noises. I'll have another batch done in 2-3 weeks as I am sold out ATM.

Rob,

This mount is awesome. I'll post a link to this thread on our local Porsche board.

Finally got them installed a couple weeks back. Along with trans fluid change, now
shifting much better than before.

Hey Chad,looks great. How much could you move the trans side-to-side before the poly mounts?

chadfjones Wed Oct 12, 2011 5:03 pm

I think it felt like about 1/4 to 1/2 each way but didn't measure it.

cjbcpa Tue Oct 25, 2011 9:15 pm

I'm re-doing the rear suspension on my Turbo track car this winter. Can you PM me or make an announcement when you have more late model mounts available? Might as well plan/prepare for my swap now while I can!.

Thanks,

CB

xschop Thu Oct 27, 2011 3:55 pm

Sorry for the late reply. I will have some done in 3-4 weeks and the late mounts will be a new 2-piece design where you can undo 2 bolts and have a factory setting or V-8 swap set-back setting. My billet hubs are finally up next on the CNC for programming. The pot-holes are mini-craters around here lol.

acorad Thu Oct 27, 2011 5:10 pm

OT but do you still looking for some late struts to see if you can make them rebuildable with KYB, etc., inserts?

Arthropraxis Thu Oct 27, 2011 5:13 pm

You can make late struts rebuild-able with the koni hacksaw method.
